Akuma Confirmed for Street Fighter V
A major character is returning to the Street Fighter series. Capcom has confirmed the next DLC character for Street Fighter V, and it’s a doozie. A Teaser trailer has revealed that Akuma will be the next DLC character for the game. You can check out the new video in the player below.
Shoryuken reports that the trailer was revealed at the Red Bull Battle Grounds finals. Additionally, Akuma will be playable to attendees of PlayStation Experience in December. A release date for the DLC has not yet been confirmed. The 2016 PlayStation Experience will be running from December 3-4 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Hopefully, that means the wait for the new DLC won’t be too long.
The teaser doesn’t offer a full reveal of Akuma in the game. However, it’s pretty clear that’s obviously going to be Akuma joining the game as a DLC character. Obviously, he’s an iconic character and a tremendous addition to the fighter roster. I guess this means that Capcom will continue to support Street Fighter V with more DLC, character and content throughout 2017. It should be interesting to see what other characters might be added after this.
Street Fighter V is available now for Windows PC and PlayStation 4.
